Facility Inspections

Grade: F

This facility's grades were horrible across the board. In particular, we wanted to point out its inspection grade where we gave it an F. This isn't a good sign for its inspection reports. When a facility has this bad of an inspection rating, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This particular facility had 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a risk to resident health or safety. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this facility received an F for its short-term care grade. Our short-term care grade is often employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. With a grade this poor in this category, we weren't surprised to find that this facility was well below average in several staffing areas we looked at. The facility provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. There are a variety of subcategories within this grade. Most of these datapoints are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This particular facility averaged a meager 0.1 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This statistic is quite a bit below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we looked at was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category, which is an abysmal score. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in long-term care it is a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility provided the vaccine to only 40.3125 percent of its patients, which is not a very encouraging sign. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
